Reading Videos at Level 1.0

This series of reading videos are presented to support teachers to make consistent and accurate judgements of students’ progress in reading, against the reading domain of the English Victorian Essential Learning Standards. The videos depict student-teacher interactions, which highlight typical student behaviours that reflect the reading standards and progression points. They may be viewed to generate professional conversations about student learning and to report on student progress.

A student who has reached Level 1 Reading Standard

At Level 1, students match print and spoken text in their immediate environment. They recognise how sounds are represented alphabetically and identify some sound–letter relationships. They read aloud simple print and electronic texts that include some frequently used words and predominantly oral language structures. They read from left to right with return sweep, and from top to bottom. They use title, illustrations and knowledge of a text topic to predict meaning. They use context and information about words, letters, combinations of letters and the sounds associated with them to make meaning, and use illustrations to extend meaning.
